MONITORING OF HIGH RISE BUILDING USING VERY LONG FOCAL LENGTH OF CAMERA LENS AND THREE DIMENSIONS GOOGLE IMAGES

Abstract

A new approach of monitoring of building tower of University of Baghdad has been implemented through the use of accurate cameras which include Sony camera )a65( with GPS and two zoom lenses (18-55mm &55-200mm) as well as MTO 1100mm 10.5 mirror lens mounted on Pentax K-x camera. The positions of damages were located on three dimensions (3D) Google images; therefore it has been dispensed with the use of original drawings which are often lost or missing.
